Let’s make sure we have all the tid bits required to make it work:

(I used nokia n70 for this)

* A PC with an internet connection
* A bluetooth dongle/adapter with appropriate drivers installed (Preferably Widcomm or Broadcom drivers)
* m-Router 3 - Download it from here

* Gnubox for s60 - Download it from here


Make sure your bluetooth drivers are installed and working correctly. I am using Widcomm drivers for bluetooth. Default Windows drivers should work just as well.

PC settings:
* download and Install m-router
* open advance settings and check the boxes corresponding serial cable, additional COM ports, emulator and bluetooth
* click additional COM ports and make sure ur bluetooth COM port is there.

Now that our m-Router is all set, let’s configure Gnubox on the N70.

GnuBox configuration:
* download and Transfer the file gnubox_N70.sis and follow the regular installation process. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned ON on your PC and N70
* Go to Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Access points
* goto options -> new access point -> default settings
* Change the connection name to Bt. Gnubox will not accept any other connection name so make sure you have it set to Bt.(u can also name it 'Dial-up')
* data bearer -> packet data
* access point name -> Bt
* username(give it a username of ur internet connection)
* prompt password -> no
* password(give it password of ur internet connection)
* authentication -> normal
* now go to options -> advance settings
* network type -> IPv4
* phone IP address -> automatic
* name servers -> primary server ->(give is the dns ip of ur computer. to know the dns ip, open cmd and type ipconfig/all. read the line "IP address). leave the secondary server to 0.0.0.0
* proxy server address ->(give it the dns server address. open cmd and type ipconfig/all. read the dns servers.)
* proxy port number -> 0

Now that you have a connection named Bt, run Gnubox

*go to Options -> Install -> Create Records. Dont worry when it says ISP ‘Bt’ not found. Exit Gnubox.

* (This step is very important) make sure you Exit Gnubox.

* Now run Gnubox again. this time u can see the ispout has found.

* Go to Options -> 2box Bluetooth -> Serial port.

* The phone will now search for Bluetooth devices, select you PC and hit OK.

* We are almost done here. Now Go to Options -> Install -> change default AP to set Bt as your default Access Point.

* Then go to Options -> Debug -> Bring up IF

That’s all, the phone will connect to your PC via Bluetooth and show a message saying “Connection Open”.

Now you can browse the internet, chat with friends and do pretty much anything that you can do over GPRS.

THIS IS THE TUTORIAL SIDE.....INSTEAD OF MOBILES RELATED INFO'S SIDE;

Good Tutroail ...

its nice tutorial braveheart

but can u explain its application please ???

Application or Implementation?

Nice tut but there are far easy ways around it

Application,,, and application means useful utility

I thought u knew it already

Thanks everyone for compliments

Yes, i will explain the application,

once you have to setup ur PC to use NET from Bluetooth:

About GnuBox:

GnuBox application allows you to access the Internet from your phone using your computer's Internet connection without paying any fees (like GPRS) to your operator, and at speeds up to 400 kbit/sec.

It can connect to the PC using Bluetooth or the USB cradle.

About m-router 3:

M-router 3 is a Mobile Routing software with version 3. It is a software used to connect many Symbian smartphones to PC's.
It is integrated with bluetooth drivers and software contains set up wizards, setting of preffered devices and more...
You can use m-Router 3 Developer Edition to provide IP-connectivity to your Symbian OS Emulator and improve the connectivity between your Symbian OS Smartphone and PC

u misunderstood application,, i mean to ask,,, when u have already net connected computer,,,, they under which condition,, we can use it, we cant use anywhere,,, as each PC should have that software,, to connect the S60 device.

so what is its practical application,,, as in case,,, one have already net connected PC,,, and S60 device will not be connected to internet without a pc having that software

No hardware runs without drivers

i could be really applicable if driver is installed on S60 device and then connect to some PC, like cells with wifi,, that can be connected to net via wireless in any wifi zone

They still require drivers to be connected to PC

Btw I think we both are having probs understanding each other
